City Council can get through the approval process.An initial motion presented by Councilmembers Hugo Soto-Martinez and President Paul Krekorian passed the council on Oct. 20 and will be heard by the Civil Rights and Public Works Committee, before being introduced for public comment.“For years, a No-Street-Vending Zone on Hollywood Boulevard has targeted immigrant entrepreneurs who work so hard to provide for their families,” Soto-Martinez said.”As the son of street vendors, I know firsthand how these entrepreneurs are the ultimate small business owners in LA, contributing so much cultural vibrancy to our city.”The current ban on Hollywood Boulevard means vendors that are currently seen on the Walk of Fame risk fines and having their merchandise or food taken away.
